I am not advocating anything.

If anything, I question the league's schedule with YES - it now plays out like Monday Night Football does annually.

Long-term, if we want the league to be more visible to the population at large (not necessarily nationally, but at least locally and regionally), is this a good scenario?

I think of the Big East, and the fact that when the power was conference-oriented (i.e. Gavitt and Tranghese held more power than the ADs at the schools) the league was much better than it is today.

The Big East has lost its ability to control member institutions - when it added football to appease Syracuse and BC. Then it became a free for all.

This league seems to be as decentralized in its administration as the schools themselves. I don't know if this helps the product.
